Preparations for the 24th annual Leigh Valley Buddy Walk are underway to help raise money for
the Eastern Pennsylvania Down Syndrome Center and to show the world that love doesn’t count
chromosomes.
The event, which consists of over 1,200 walkers each year, will take place Saturday, October 7th
during National Down Syndrome Awareness Month at Cedar Crest College (100 College Ave.
Allentown, PA) and host a family fun day out for a good cause. In addition to the walk, there
will be food trucks, activities, music, crafts, bounce houses, characters such as Star Wars,
giveaways and more so come on out and have a good time.
Also showing its support at the event will be Road Scholar Transport’s Down syndrome
awareness truck. Decked out in yellow and blue, the awareness colors of Down syndrome, this
tractor trailer travels the country throughout the year delivering freight. On the road to embrace
life, the trailer is helping to show the world that “Love Doesn’t Count Chromosomes,” featuring
Logan, a two-year old who rocks it out everyday teaching that it’s not “Down” syndrome, it’s
“Up” syndrome. Read Logan’s story here.
For those who would like to help donate, visit Logan’s Heroes’ fundraising page for the Eastern
Pennsylvania Down Syndrome Center at https://www.classy.org/fundraiser/4841269 and
help us reach our goal.
Those wanting to participate in the walk can register here. But hurry, those who register by Sept. 7th will also receive a t-shirt.
Thank you!
